Discussion | The Doublespeak of Georgian Literature and Translation
A discussion with Khatuna Beridze and Bela Tsipuria. Moderated by Valentina Izmirlieva. Georgian literature and translation present the vibrant national discourse of the 19th century, which was shaped by the generation of the 1860s and revitalized and reshaped by modernists in the 1920s to confront the challenges posed by Soviet influence. A literary journey through Stalin’s era to the period of the Thaw shows how the Georgian writers Chabua Amirejibi, Otar Chkheidze, Nodar Dumbadze masterfully weaved together Soviet and national discourses through their works, as well as through their lifestyle as a form of resilience. The hybridity became the quality of Georgian poetry and prose, as well as literary criticism and translation.

Discussion | Can We Talk about Nonviolence? Now?
A conversation with Nadia Abu El-Haj, Judith Butler, and Kendall Thomas, moderated by Marianne Hirsch and Jean Howard In the midst of several brutal wars, is it possible to think beyond and against the inevitability of war, nationalism, and militarism? Do the traditions of refusal offered by antiwar feminist, decolonial, and antiracist thinkers and social movements provide useful ways to shift the frames of war? Can an ethics of nonviolence, care, and reparative justice serve as a horizon of possibility at this moment?

Book Discussion | The Fall and Rise of American Finance: From JP Morgan to Blackrock
It is today all but taken for granted by critical political economists, and political figures from Hillary Clinton to Bernie Sanders, that finance is parasitic on industry. Financialization, from this view, has amounted to financial institutions capturing the state and hollowing out the “real” economy, leading to the decline of capitalism. In their new book, Stephen Maher and Scott Aquanno pose a bold challenge to this hypothesis. Based on a survey of the last century of capitalist development, they insist that, despite the costs for workers and the middle class, financialization has intensified competitiveness and strengthened capital – all with the support of an ever stronger and more authoritarian state. As they show, this has culminated since the 2008 crisis in a new economic regime – “a new finance capital” – marked by the unprecedented concentration and centralization in the hands of the “Big Three” asset management firms.

Discussion | Impact of AI on Cybersecurity (in-person and online)
The impact of AI on human society is profound and multifaceted, and it depends on how it is developed, regulated, and integrated into various sectors. Careful consideration of ethical, legal, and social implications is crucial to ensure that AI benefits society while minimizing potential negative consequences. One of the key implications of AI is the potential for its misuse by cybercriminals to develop sophisticated cyberattacks that most public and private companies, especially government agencies, are not fully prepared to fend off. To combat the misuse of AI for criminal activities, law enforcement agencies and cybersecurity experts are continually working to develop and implement countermeasures. This includes using AI and machine learning for threat detection and prevention and developing regulations and ethical guidelines for AI usage. However, staying one step ahead of AI-driven criminal activities remains an ongoing challenge in the evolving landscape of cybersecurity and criminal behavior. Already, the US and EU have proposed, at the urging of the AI industry, frameworks for AI guardrails, while world leaders have called for a global approach to AI regulation. Moderator: Shahryar Shaghaghi, Professor of Professional Practice, Enterprise Risk Management; Technology, Risk Management and Cybersecurity Executive Panelists: Soheil Gityforoze, Doctoral Candidate in AI & Machine Learning, The George Washington University - School of Engineering & Applied Science Justin Greis, Partner, McKinsey & Company Kambiz Mofrad, Chief Information Security Officer, SVAM International Demond Waters, Chief Information Security Officer, NYC Department of Education

Discussion | How Has the Ukraine War Changed the China-Russia Relationship?
Leading experts Yun Sun and Sergey Radchenko who will reflect upon these critical geopolitical developments in conversation with Professors Andrew Nathan and Alexander Cooley. Just prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping proclaimed a “no-limits” partnership between their countries. But Russia’s war in Ukraine has had a profound impact on the Sino-Russian relationship. While Putin has sought Beijing’s support for his territorial grab, China’s position, has been famously characterized as “pro-Russia neutrality”. Geopolitics remains the single most important factor in China’s decision regarding the Ukraine war, as Beijing has been torn between the competing agendas of managing its relations with Russia and relations with Europe. And while the Russians have grown increasingly frustrated with what many in Moscow perceive as Beijing’s double-dealing and unwillingness to commit, Putin’s leverage with Xi Jinping remains limited. As the war in Ukraine grinds into its third year, China and Russia continue unsteadily towards an ever closer alignment even while pragmatically looking out for their own interests in an evolving world.

Book Discussion | Change: A Novel of Becoming Someone Else
An autobiographical novel from ?douard Louis, hailed as one of the most important voices of his generation--about social class, transformation, and the perils of leaving the past behind. "One question took center stage in my life, it focused all of my thoughts and occupied every moment when I was alone with myself: how could I get this revenge, by what means? I tried everything." ?douard Louis longs for a life beyond the poverty, discrimination, and violence in his working-class hometown--so he sets out for school in Amiens, and, later, university in Paris. He sheds the provincial "Eddy" for an elegant new name, determined to eradicate every aspect of his past. He reads incessantly; he dines with aristocrats; he spends nights with millionaires and drug-dealers alike. Everything he does is motivated by a single obsession: to become someone else. At once harrowing and profound, Change is not just a personal odyssey, a story of dreams and of "the beautiful violence of being torn away," but a vividly rendered portrait of a society divided by class, power, and inequality.

Video | LOST… Everywhere: Video Art
Children, mothers and siblings looking for one another, others not knowing they exist or believed to be dead, and others that will never be able to find one another. Thousands of cases of stolen children in Spain took place between the late thirties and early nineties. Newborn babies were stolen from single or undesirable mothers. They were told that their babies were dead, while being sold to pro-Franco Regime ‘model’ or favorable families. All this was organized and run by the Catholic Church, a network of private and public hospitals, maternity wards, and the Franco Regime. There is a legal battle with the Ministry of Justice in the Spanish Government to unseal and allow access to files. Fake birth and death certificates, fake funerals and burials were produced, and no possibility of tracing back any biological mother by erasing their names from any register. All in the name of law and social welfare. Lost is a video installation by Rosa Pascual based on this theme. The observed data shows full names and dates of birth from Spanish Stolen Children that have provided their details, as well as mothers and other relatives searching for the “dead babies” and the presumed date of death or disappearance they were given. All is coordinated by National organizations that are dealing with victims and possible matches via a DNA bank.

Discussion | What Makes It Italian?: Marble II (online)
"What Makes It Italian?" is a music listening and discussion group. The fourth encounter will focus on Marble (part 2): Composer Francesco Bianchi (1752 - 1810) with sculptor Antonio Canova (1757 - 1822) When are marble sculpture - and music - all about the surface, and does this make them superficial? How can our understanding of italianita? in music be informed by Italian sculpture? The insubstantial nature of musical materials - mere vibrations that move through the air, imperceptible to sight and touch - creates in us a longing for an analog made of solid material. In sculpture we have just such an analog: run your hand across the carved wood; feel the heat radiating from the bronze; watch the light play off the marble surface. Find the substance of Italian music by exploring its relationship to the substance/s of sculpture, one medium at a time.

Book Discussion | All Things Are Too Small: Essays in Praise of Excess
Becca Rothfeld's book is a glorious call to throw off restraint and balance in favor of excess, abandon, and disproportion, in essays ranging from such topics as mindfulness, decluttering, David Cronenberg, and consent. In her debut essay collection, Rothfeld takes on one of the most sacred cows of our time: the demand that we apply the virtues of equality and democracy to culture and aesthetics. The result is a culture that is flattened and sanitized, purged of ugliness, excess, and provocation.

Book Discussion | Gentile Bellini’s Portrait of Sultan Mehmed II: Lives and Afterlives of an Iconic Image
Author Elizabeth Rodini follows the long history of this renowned picture from its production at the Ottoman court in 1480, to Venice and London, and finally to its reception in contemporary Istanbul. Evoking “both a memoir and a mystery novel,” Rodini’s “meticulous archival research and critical analysis” [Lia Markey] reveal the portrait’s evolving role as diplomatic offering, showpiece, trophy, heirloom, and disputed object of national patrimony. It is also a study in how one image, deeply considered, can open up a world of inquiry. Tonight, Rodini will focus on the portrait’s presentation in public and private settings, exploring its varied contexts of display and the resulting shifts in its significance.

Discussion | Stolpertexte: Archives, Literature, and Memory
The LBI Archives hold tens of thousands of family collections that include diaries, memoirs, letters, and photographs that document the everyday lives of German-speaking Jews. In LBI's newest project, German-language writers have been invited to engage with these collections and the people described in them in short literary texts called Stolpertexte. Like their namesake brass memorial plaques, these texts interrupt our daily routines and remind us in the here and now on the lives and hopes of people from whom Nazi terror took everything away. In addition to some of Germany's leading authors, a new generation of literary talent is also engaged in the project. LBI invites you to meet students from the German Literature Institute in Leipzig, Germany’s premiere creative-writing program, who will read from their own Stolpertexte and a short documentary theater piece. German writer Max Czollek, who holds the Spring 2024 DAAD Chair in Contemporary Poetics at NYU, will discuss literary memory culture in Germany and engage in a discussion with the students. Featuring Nadja Etinski, Amalie Mbianda Njiki, Tara Meister, Konstantin Schmidtbauer, Mücahit Türk, Jonë Zhitia, Hannah Beckmann.

Book Discussion | Total Garbage: How We Can Fix Our Waste and Heal Our World (online)
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Edward Humes with renowned environmental journalist Andrew Revkin on the shocking state of consumer waste — and Humes’ new book. Our garbage pervades every aspect of our daily lives. But it doesn’t have to. Investigating the disturbing correlation between waste and prosperity, Edward Humes shines a light on the absurdity of the systems that heap trash upon trash — along with the people and communities who are working to transform the way we consume, from reusable clothing to California microfarms to electric vehicles. As we gear up for Earth Day, hear Humes and Revkin discuss the nature of waste in 2024 and why there’s hope for a greener future.

Book Discussion | A New Agenda for Health and Well-Being
The U.S. is amid a decades-long population health crisis. The world is emerging from a devastating pandemic with tragic and unequal loss of life. These population and public health outcomes are associated with a prevailing neoliberal political economy that has left too many people vulnerable to preventable sickness and premature death. This conversation will ask: how do we build a world where our economy inclusively enables all people, regardless of their identity, to have the resources to experience health, wellbeing, and dignity? What are the policies and narratives about our economy that need to change for this to happen? And how might a fresh political economy lens allow us to imagine and build new possibilities? In this spirit, this event will mark the announcement of the new Health and Political Economy Project, which is aiming to craft a forward-looking community and roadmap for change on health.

Book Discussion | Judgment at Tokyo: World War II on Trial and the Making of Modern Asia (online)
Gary Bass will speak on his book. In the weeks after Japan finally surrendered to the Allies to end World War II, the world turned to the question of how to move on from years of carnage and destruction. For Harry Truman, Douglas MacArthur, Chiang Kai-shek, and their fellow victors, the question of justice seemed clear: Japan’s militaristic leaders needed to be tried and punished for the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor; shocking atrocities against civilians in China, the Philippines, and elsewhere; and rampant abuses of prisoners of war in notorious incidents such as the Bataan death march. For the Allied powers, the trial was an opportunity to render judgment on their vanquished foes, but also to create a legal framework to prosecute war crimes and prohibit the use of aggressive war, building a more peaceful world under international law and American hegemony. For the Japanese leaders on trial, it was their chance to argue that their war had been waged to liberate Asia from Western imperialism and that the court was victors’ justice.
